Devendra Fadnavis, Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister, on Wednesday took an indirect jab at cousins from the Thackeray family over their upcoming protest march, employing a cultural reference to underscore his criticism.
Fadnavis made the remark during a political engagement, alluding to the Bollywood film "Ghajini" in his criticism. The Deputy Chief Minister suggested that those leveling accusations should ensure their statements are believable, rather than resorting to what he characterized as falsehoods.
The comments appear directed at the Thackeray cousins' plan to organize a public march, reflecting the ongoing political tensions within Maharashtra's ruling coalition. The barb indicates the intensifying war of words between different political factions in the state.
The remark represents the latest in a series of public exchanges between senior BJP leadership and members of the Thackeray family, who continue to wield significant political influence in Maharashtra despite internal organizational challenges.
